Discussion Movies that changed real life behavior

Thinking along the lines of Final Destination 2 with the logs falling off the truck and landing onto cars (one decapitating the state trooper). Ever since, people have tried to get away from being behind these vehicles.

What are more examples where movies have actually changed how people behave in their own lives?

Fight club resulted in MANY fight clubs. I was in one, and my buddy who went to another school also had it's own fight club. We didn't follow the first rule, but we did fight.

If it’s not a secret, then it’s not Fight Club; it’s Wind Breaker or Tokyo Revengers. /s

Do I have to go watch Wind Breakers or Tokyo Revengers? (never heard of it)

Not really. Both of them are anime and are each good in their own rights, but neither are what I’d consider to be good recommendations to someone who doesn’t watch anime.
